experiment is to see the enzyme amylase catalyse starch in a chemical reaction. | | Introduction Enzymes are proteins. They act as catalysts‚ allowing chemical reactions to take place by lowering the amount of energy needed. They therefore speed up a reaction without being consumed themselves in the process. Enzymes are needed by all human beings‚ without them we couldn’t survive. They act as catalysts that break down substances such as starch and convert them into different products such

precipitate. Starch give positive result in Iodine test as the colour of solution change from yellow to dark blue. Glucose is the simplest carbohydrates that are monosaccharide or simple sugar. Starch consisting of a large number of glucose units joined together by glycosidic linkage and known as polysaccharide‚ that is polymers of sugar. Saliva that contains salivary amylase enzyme‚ which breaks down the glycosidic linkage between glucose that found in starch and hydrolyzes starch into glucose

thus another method; dyed grain (Pitiphunpong et al.‚ 2011) obtain low precision if the proportion of the adulteration is low. Rice starch consists of two fractions; amylopectin is the main fraction and amylose is the second. The ratio of amylose and amylopectin is an important factor that distinguishes the cooking characteristics of rice. Non glutinous rice starch consists of 10-34% percent of amylose which makes the rice less sticky and harder texture. The amylose content of milled rice may be

pills. Should you? In the United States today many people have supposedly lost weight with certain pills. One of these pills is called carb cutter. Carb Cutter claims to inhibit the activity of the starch-digesting enzyme‚ amylase. When the diet pill binds to the amylase‚ it prevents the breakdown of starch. In the Biology 1103 lab‚ we conducted two experiments to determine whether or not the diet pill‚ Carb Cutter‚ actually worked. In each experiment we used an experiment tube and a control (blank)

* Color reaction of starch when mixed with Iodine solution Introduction: Statement: * How would the varying solutions react when introduced with the Iodine solution? Hypothesis: * If a solution is rich in starch then it will react with iodine solution and change to a bluish-black color (looks Brown) Materials: Items: * 8 test tubes‚ pipet‚ iodine‚ onion juice‚ potato juice‚ sucrose solution‚ glucose solution‚ distilled water‚ fructose solution‚ starch solution‚ & beats juice

Test #1 * Add a small piece of cracker in test tube #1 and add Lugol’s solution. Observation #1 * The cracker turned a black colour when the Lugol’s solution was added to it. This was a positive result‚ meaning that the cracker contains starch. Test #2 * Add a bigger piece of cracker in test tube #2‚ add 5 mL of Benedict’s solution‚ place in a boiling water bath‚ and record observations after 5 minutes. Observation #2 * There was no change in colour after the Benedict’s solution
